Pillow Queens – “Like A Lesson”

Martyna Bannister

Pillow Queens are releasing a new album, Name Your Sorrow, next month. The Irish rock band has already shared two songs from it, “Gone” and “Suffer,” and today they’re back with another one, “Like A Lesson.” They had this to say about the track:

The notion of finding safety and comfort in the presence of love of limerence is emphasized, contrasting with the paralyzing fear of making mistakes or ruining your life or someone else’s. It delves into the feeling of being a lesson for someone, a side character in someone else’s story.

Sonically, we were influenced by a range of artists from Blur and REM to Seminsonic, New Radicals, and Squeeze. It began as a song we felt had a strong country music influence and morphed into something that referenced a wide range of our musical tastes. It’s the 90s soft rock song on the album.

Listen below.

Name Your Sorrow is out 4/19.
